Whales typically give birth to one calf at a time, although twin fetuses can occur on rare occasions.

A right whale calf's birthweight generally is about 500 lbs. Gray whales weigh 1,100 to 1,500 lbs. at birth. Newborn humpback and sperm whale calves usually weigh around 2,000 lbs.

Urine is one of the body's waste products. It is primarily composed of water and urea. Urea is a special nitrogenous waste compound that the body must routinely remove. Urine formation occurs in the kidney in three stages: filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Here the final process of urine formation occurs: secretion. The body sometimes needs to send things on the express route to excretion. Toxins, in particular, are always sent on the fast track out of the body. They do not go through filtration and reabsorption.", "A major part of this cleaning of the blood takes place in the kidneys and, in particular, in the nephrons, where the blood is filtered to produce the urine. Both kidneys in the body carry out this essential blood cleansing function. Whereas reabsorption moves substances out of the tubules and into the blood, secretion moves substances out of the blood and into the tubules where they mix with the water and other wastes and are converted into urine.", "Im really confused as to where in the nephron of the kidney each of the three steps of urine formation occur the steps include: 1. glomerular filtration 2. tubular reabsorption 3.tubular secretion does glomerular filtration occur in the renal corpuscle, then the tubular reabsorption occur in the proximal... Im really confused as to where in the nephron of the kidney each of the three steps of urine formation occur. the steps include: 1. glomerular filtration. 2. tubular reabsorption. 3.tubular secretion.", "Urine formation begins in the renal corpuscle, where blood passing through the glomerulus is filtered. Filtrates include water, ions, and other solutes, which are filtered out of the blood and into the capsular space to begin urine formation. Urine passes into the proximal convoluted tubule, then into the nephron loop. The nephron concentrates urine by the process of the countercurrent multiplication system.", "Basically, the process of urine formation takes place in three (3) stages, as blood plasma flows through the nephrons. Nephrons are microscopic tube-like structures in the kidneys that filter the blood and cause wastes to be removed. Stage 1 of Urine Formation: GLOMERULAR FILTRATION. Glomerular filtration is a process in which water and some other substances in the blood plasma pass from the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. Very small molecules can pass through the filtration membrane", "Blood plasma is a clear fluid that surrounds blood cells. If the process of urine formation is disrupted or inhibited, over an extended period of time, toxins begin to accumulate in the body and this can cause quite serious medical conditions and eventually results in death.

Glomerular filtration is a process in which water and some other substances in the blood plasma pass from the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. Very small molecules can pass through the filtration membrane", "Once in the pelvis of the kidney the filtrate (now urine) contains substances that were pressure filtered and never reabsorbed such as urea, excess salt, water and other substances that were secreted from the blood such as hydrogen ions, drugs, or creatinine. 2.REABSORPTION: Reabsorption, by definition, is the movement of substances out of the renal tubules back into the blood capillaries located around the tubules (called the peritubular copillaries).

She can be spayed any time after eight weeks of age, and preferably before her first heat for the best health benefits. The first heat cycle occurs somewhere around six months of age, depending on the breed. The benefits to your dog are considerable: 1 Spaying reduces risk of certain illnesses, such as pyometra (a common, life-threatening infection of the uterus) or mammary gland cancer. 2 Spaying reduces pet overpopulation. 3 Millions of dogs are put down every year because there aren’t enough homes for them.", "Spaying is done at all ages. At some humane facilities and animal shelters, spaying is being done when pets are 6 to 8 weeks old so that no adopted pets will have unwanted litters. Pets spayed by the family veterinarian are traditionally scheduled for surgery between 5 and 10 months of age. The smaller the breed, the more quickly the female matures, so that spaying of small dogs is best done at 5-6 months of age. The larger breeds mature more slowly so that spaying can be delayed until the pet is closer to one year of age. Thus, Chihuahuas may be spayed at 5 months of age and Bull Mastiffs may be safely spayed when 10-12 months of age. Spaying before the dog is mature ensures she does not go through estrus and become pregnant", "Some dogs that are spayed earlier than at 6 months of age can grow up with slightly abnormally long legs (and the health problems that can go along with that) or wraithlike bodies because their hormones never had a chance to kick in and properly shut off the growth command. Ideally she should be spayed between 4-6 months, BEFORE her first heat cycle. This will help reduce the chance of breast cancer later in life. Also the spay surgery once they have had one heat will be more involved. There will be greater blood supply to that region, and vets will usually charge more", "In the United States, most dogs are spayed between 5 and 8 months of age. Many animal shelters and veterinarians are starting to spay female animals at a younger age, even at 2 months. Spaying a dog before her first heat is the best way to significantly reduce the chance your dog will develop mammary cancer. The risk of malignant mammary tumors in dogs spayed prior to their first heat is 0.05%. It is 8% for dog spayed after one heat, and 26% in dogs spayed after their second heat.", "2.

The increased size of the prostate is associated with increased blood supply. Incidence increases with age; 23 to 24% of dogs developed pyometra by 10 years of age in one Swedish study. Specific breeds are at increased risk (Table 1). This very common disorder of aged intact bitches is treated surgically.", "Why do we perform spay or castration at 6 months of age? Most veterinarians in the United States recommend bitches and dogs be spayed or castrated between 6 and 9 months of age. ", "Best Answer: The best age is between 4-6 months, so you spay BEFORE your dog ever goes into heat (but after your pet has had all necessary vaccines). Spaying before the first heat cycle decreases the chance of later developing mammary tumors (breast cancer) by 97%. After the first heat the chance is decreased to around 80-85%, and after the 4th heat there is almost no decrease. Ideally she should be spayed between 4-6 months, BEFORE her first heat cycle.
